Chris Sale Believes Sandy Leon Is Big Reason For His Success With Red Sox
Share this: Chris Sale has been everything the Boston Red Sox could have hoped for when they acquired him from the Chicago White Sox in December. But the ace is quick to give all the credit to those around him, especially his battery mate, Sandy Leon. Sale was solid Monday in Boston’s 4-1 win over the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park, allowing one run on four hits while striking out nine over 6 1/3 innings of work. After the win, Sale gave credit to the Red Sox’s bullpen, which tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of the left-hander, and Leon, who Sale claims knows him better than he knows himself.

Are Red Sox’s Opponents Adjusting To Chris Sale’s Pitching Approach?
Share this: Chris Sale hasn’t been quite as dominant lately as he was in his first several starts as a member of Boston Red Sox. Ahead of Sale’s 12th start for Boston, NESN’s Steve Lyons explained what’s been behind this slight dip in effectiveness Sunday on “Red Sox First Pitch,” presented by Men’s Wearhouse. As Lyons sees it, opposing hitters are beginning to get a read on Sale. They’re swinging earlier in counts against the All-Star left-hander, which Lyons believes has contributed to his moderate decline in strikeout numbers. That’s not to say Sale is struggling — far from it. He’s completed seven or more innings in nine of his first 11 starts and ranks fifth in the American League with a 2.77

Chris Sale Earns Pedro Martinez’s Admiration After Best Red Sox Start Yet
Share this: Chris Sale’s bar was set incredibly high when he joined the Boston Red Sox this offseason. Somehow, the left-handed ace has raised it. Sale pitched his best outing in a season full of stellar ones Thursday at Rogers Centre, baffling the Toronto Blue Jays to the tune of 13 strikeouts and zero earned runs over eight innings in Boston’s 4-1, extra-innings win. He threw 80 of his 102 pitches for strikes, a remarkable feat when you consider there have been 65 starts already this season in which a pitcher has thrown fewer than 80 pitches total. Sale looked downright unhittable throughout most of his outing, attacking the strike zone with a lethal three-pitch mix while working quickly to keep Toronto’s batters off-balance. And if
